Okay, so I got this Baby'O skirt for my daughter and it's become her favorite for everything! The 4-tier design is really cute and feminine, but the cotton twill fabric is tough enough for active play. The below-knee length is perfect - modest enough for school but still allows freedom of movement. The 2-inch exposed elastic waistband is comfortable and has some stretch for growth, which is smart for kids who seem to grow overnight. We've worn this for everything from bike riding to campfires to just everyday school wear. The quality is impressive - it's held up through multiple washes without fading or losing shape. The fact that it's made in the USA is a nice bonus too. Sizing runs true to the measurements provided, so definitely check the size chart before ordering. If you're looking for a versatile skirt that can handle rough-and-tumble play but still looks put-together, this is definitely worth trying. It's become our go-to for any occasion where she wants to wear a skirt but still be able to run and play freely. The cotton twill is lightweight but durable - perfect for all seasons!
